The first hole at West Winds is one of two tough par 4’s to start your round. Tee shots down the center or right side of the fairway give golfers the best angle to a downhill green protected by water on the left, and a large sand trap to the front left of the pin.

#1 Handicap. This severe dog- right, 451-yard par 4, challenges golfers immediately off the tee-box. Weary tee-shots left of center set up for long approach shots to a green that slopes off in all directions. In addition, a left-side bunker and large oak tree to the right have been added to make this a well-guarded green.

The first par 5 on the course offers a classic risk/reward layout. Long drives make it possible to reach this uphill green in two. However, wayward tee-shots to the right can easily drift out of bounds. Once out of danger, you will have ample space to place approach shots on this oversized green.

A rolling fairway and sloped landing area make this par 5 a unique challenge on the front.

Tee shots should be aimed well left of center to avoid feeding into a gully on the right side of the fairway. You will need to add one club on your approach to the green if you find yourself on either the sever upslope or downslope just inside the 150 yard marker. In addition, the green is significantly deeper than it appears, guarded with two bunkers left and right makes this par 5 a tough one.

With a giant oak tree and pond protecting the fairway, the 8th hole offers golfers a chance to get somewhat creative off the tee-box. A tee shot hit slightly left of the oak sets up a good angled second shot to a fairly large green, but going over the tree or pond offer a fairly short approach shot. The choice is yours, but be weary of the water hazard back and to the right of the green.

From tee to front side of the green, you are fighting an uphill battle. With a slight dogleg to the left and trees lining the right side of the fairway, this hole requires a good tee shot.

Second shots will also have to be precise when trying to land on this small green that slopes left to right and front to back.

One of the most challenging par 4’s on the golf course. You must hit two good shots to have a chance at par. Off the tee box, this 90 degree dog-leg right forces golfers to place their tee shots down the middle. Anything left makes for an extremely long second shot, while tee-shots to the right leave golfers virtually no angle to the green. Pine trees to the left of the green, and a large bunker short and right add to the difficulty of this hole.

A solid drive anywhere on the fairway sets you up for a good approach to a sloping green. Although looks are deceiving, the right side of the fairway offers slightly more room off a tee shot. Just be cautious not to go too far right, and risk rolling down a steep hill to 17’s fairway.

This double dog-leg demands three excellent shots for any chance at par, especially since everything slopes right to left on this hole. Hit your tee shot down the right side of the fairway. Your second shot needs to be both accurate and long enough to land just inside the 150 yard marker. Favor the right side in order to keep your ball on the fairway. Finally, add one club to your approach shot to ensure you clear the significant uphill that leads to the green.

This 530-yard par 5 is a continuing dog-leg to the right, with out-of-bounds extending along the left side of the fairway. Tee shot should be aimed at the fairway bunker and hit no further than 230 yards with roll. Play second shots short and down the right of the fairway. After two initial blind shots, golfers will get their first glimpse of the green along with a front right bunker protecting the front right portion. Place approach shots below the hole if possible; otherwise, you will face a very fast downhill putt.

Most shots hit to the right side will gently roll down the hill and into the fairway setting up for an uphill second shot to a fairly flat and large green. Check your yardage to just inside the 150-yard mark and try to land the ball in that area. Add a half a club to reach the uphill green.

A solid finishing hole. This 502-yard, uphill par 5 will challenge golfers with out of bounds running along both sides of the fairway. The 18thstarts with a difficult tee shot through a shoot of trees that sets up for a blind second shot lay-up. The hole proceeds to dog-leg sharply at the 150-yard marker, so it is crucial to place second shots toward the right side of the fairway to have a short iron into the green. On your approach shot, aim for the middle of the green regardless of the pin location
